15 Retaking The Exam

The dean couldn't win against Qin Youting's argument and turned his gaze to Qin Jin. "President Qin, you should take a look—"

"I know my daughter's character very well. She won't cheat. The worst she can do in an exam is being in last place. It's not like our family can't afford it," Qin Jin supported Qin Zhen unconditionally, "It's you, Dean. Without concrete evidence, you accused my daughter of cheating and seriously affected her reputation. You should apologize to my daughter."

The dean wanted to punch him. If it weren't for the fact that this family had donated so many things to the school, he wouldn't have been so polite, "President Qin, if you insist on this educational philosophy, then I have nothing to say. No matter how much you donate to the school, it will be meaningless! Qin Zhen's incident seriously violated the school's rules. The only reasonable solution to this is expulsion."

The dean finally realized that the reason Qin Zhen had become like this was because her family spoiled her rotten. How could parents spoil their children so unconditionally?

"I've already said that I didn't cheat. Do you think that a weak-minded student couldn't get good grades? Besides, I'm sure everyone has seen my test papers on previous exams before. How did you come to this conclusion when all I did before was hand over blank test papers?"

"There are hardworking students, I agree, but you are definitely not one," Baihe suddenly said, "You don't usually listen to class or study. Do you think that just by reading for a few days, you've accumulated a lot of knowledge?" After saying that, she looked at Qin Jin, "I think Qin Zhen made a very reasonable point. If we continue to be in a stalemate, she won't admit it. So how about this? We, teachers, will find a set of questions and let Qin Zhen do it on the spot. If she can solve them all, it means that she didn't cheat." She didn't want to help Qin Zhen. She just wanted to completely press her to death so that she wouldn't be able to make a comeback.

The dean was also holding back his anger and agreed with Baihe's suggestion. Since Qin Zhen wouldn't admit it, he had no way to agree or disagree with her.

Baihe was the first to speak up, "I don't need to look for questions. I'll just write a few words for you. If you can recognize all of them, I'll confirm your results."

Baihe wrote down twenty English words in one go. The teachers at the side frowned. They can describe these words as uncommon.

However, Qin Zhen's expression did not change. She picked up the pen and glanced at it before writing down the Chinese meaning under each vocabulary.

Baihe widened her eyes in disbelief. She had especially used these words to make things difficult for Qin Zhen, but how did she know what these words meant? She answered them so effortlessly.

In Qin Zhen's previous life, she was sent abroad by Qin Jin and stayed alone for several years. Naturally, she had a different understanding of foreign languages than others.

"Ms. Baihe, did I write everything correctly?" Qin Zhen glanced at the English teacher and smiled, but it didn't reach her eyes.

Baihe's expression turned ugly. She picked up the pen and wrote a long string of words on the paper. This was publicly acknowledged as the most difficult word when she was studying at university. She didn't believe that Qin Zhen, a mere high school student, could recognize it.

The people present had all varying expressions on their faces, but none of them were good, especially when they saw that the teacher's word was almost as long as a sentence. It was obvious that she was deliberately making things difficult for Qin Zhen.

Qin Jin and Qin Youting's glare were like lasers.

Qin Zhen only smiled. She picked up her pen again and wrote down the Chinese characters one after another on the paper.

Baihe's face instantly turned pale. How was that possible?

"Ms. Baihe, you've tested me on so many words. I want to test you too," Qin Zhen said calmly. "Can you tell me what this word means?" As she spoke, she wrote a long word on the paper.

Baihe looked at it for a while and gritted her teeth. She didn't recognize it. This word was too long and too uncommon. Even when she tried to break it down, she couldn't discern its meaning. "This word means…"

Qin Zhen laughed, and so did the other English teachers who were present.

Actually, it was normal to not recognize such long words, but what was awkward was that Baihe had deliberately used long words to make things difficult for Qin Zhen. Now that Qin Zhen, a student, had answered it correctly, it would be difficult for the teacher to deny the credibility of her claim. It would be very embarrassing if she could not answer it as easily and as quickly as Qin Zhen.

Qin Youting said coldly, "Dean, it seems that the teachers in your school don't have enough knowledge. With her level, I doubt if she can teach."

Baihe's face turned pale.

Qin Zhen smiled at her, "The meaning of this word is: a lung disease caused by volcanic dust1. It's not that difficult to recognize, isn't it?"

Baihe stopped talking, but anyone could see the embarrassment and sheer anger on her face.
